+1 to the lab, BTW Some time ago, as in before jakarta existed and I was still using windows, between 1996 and 1999, there was a dutch java web site, open source, that had a number of very interesting small products, like chat applet, etc. One of the products was a syllabic password generator, that generated passwords by combining valid word fragments randomly. For some languages, for example Spanish, this generated "words" that are easy to remember and sound well. While the passwords were not so strong, they were easy enough to remember so that people would not scribble them in postit sheets on the screen... The idea is: creating "words" by combining valid morphemes from languages could be an alternative implementation that we could exploit in this project. I could even give a try to the idea.
